Have a Nice Day H-A-N-D

I went to school, Learned the stuff; Did my residency, Suffered enough. Got my license, Put up my shingle. Can I pay my loans? Will the register jingle? Six patients an hour, Ten minutes each; Assembly-line medicine: No time to teach patients What to do, So they can benefit From what I learned in school. Gotta move on Into the next room; Another case of sniffles! For this was I groomed? I'm not saving the world, Just saving myself; The wolf's at the door, My dream's on the shelf. So it's back to business, Better not tarry; Gotta make a living: I plan to get married Before I am buried H-A-N-D! Ciao!

Hi Gershon - just wanted to check out some of your older poems - I'm glad your doctor seems to like it!

Thank you! I wrote it specifically for my primary care physician right the day before a check-up. He's a stitch---came dressed to the office that day in a Toronto Blue Jays uniform, as his name is Jim Clancy. He liked the poem too. TYSM! HAND!
